HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A federal court has rejected Montana's request to rehear its defense of state campaign contribution limits. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday that none of its 44 judges moved to reconsider the case that the court already decided was tried on out-of-date standards. A panel of three federal judges ruled in May that a state District Court must re-examine the constitutionality of Montana's contribution limits based on legal tests outlined in the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United r...
Gary Peterson, who pleaded guilty in April to three of 32 counts of sexual abuse of children he was charged with, withdrew his guilty plea at his sentencing Monday.

The city finally received a grant from the Treasure State Endowment Plan from the state Legislature this year, but by the time the money was allotted and the design work was done, the city decided it would be b...

The city manager form of government would be advantageous to Havre, former Deputy Clerk Annette Sweeney told the city’s Study Commission Monday night. But she’s afraid that adding a city manager would be cost-prohibitive. The three-member panel that is deciding whether to recommend a change in the form of the city’s government has been talking to department heads and city managers, garnering input on the way the city operates. Sweeney has retired, but members thought her 23 years experience in city government would be helpf...

The summer is drawing to an end. If I needed a reminder of that, it was certainly standing inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium Saturday in Missoula watching an epic college football game.’ Yes, there’s no better indication that summer is winding down than football. Still, one day after the Montana Grizzlies beat the mighty North Dakota State Bison, I got a chance to turn back the clock on summer, if just four a day. And I owe a big thank you to my good friend, and former Hav...
MISSOULA — There have been a lot of special days inside, and lately, nights inside the University of Montana’s famed Washington-Grizzly Stadium, but it would be tough for anyone to rank many games above last Saturday’s epic thriller between Montana and North Dakota State. Sometimes, diehard fans, we get older, get stuck in the past and get stubborn — like we also get when we’re older — that’s why Montana’s thrilling win over the four-time defending FCS champion Bison,...
